Dos_Box Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I had almost fogotten about these: 27th Nov - Black Friday 30th Nov - Cyber Monday Although I think the only thing I brought on last years BF was a big bag of 72 Finish dishwasher tablets for £10! They weren't the best present I've ever brought someone Edited November 2, 2015 by elsiegee40
sted Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I don't get what the fuss is about I looked at amazon last year and almost all of it was garbage they couldn't sell normally. Its not a thing for consumers its a way of emptying warehouses of old unwanted stock 3

Dos_Box Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 Apparently Asda will not be taking part in Black Friday this year citing 'shopper fatigue' over the event: Asda to shun Black Friday sales - BBC News
nikaso Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Apparently Asda will not be taking part in Black Friday this year citing 'shopper fatigue' over the event: Asda to shun Black Friday sales - BBC News The cynic in me says this has more to do with damaging profits later in the year and negative PR than any real 'fatigue' on the part of shoppers.
elsiegee40 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 The cynic in me says this has more to do with damaging profits later in the year and negative PR than any real 'fatigue' on the part of shoppers. I am sure you're right. However, I cannot get excited by black Friday. I hate shopping at the best of times. The full on warfare of the January sales is too much for me to bother with, so I definitely won't be out shopping on these dates. Electronic bargains maybe, but if I miss out then I am not going to worry unduly.
googlemad Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 There aren't any bargains is the real irony, if I'm looking for a bargain I'll spend as much time as I want on HotUKDeals where you can find some true bargains available all year round from the comfort of your chair
Geoff Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I think it's hilarious that John Lewis are of the opinion that it's here to stay and they can't ignore it. I can't imagine a bad-tempered crowd at a John Lewis. "Get out of the way Arabella, I want that chorizo chopping board set!" "Stop right there heathen and unlay your hands upon my breadmaker!" "Calm down Tarquin!" "Never! You wouldn't know a mezzaluna from a mouli grater. It is mine!" Edited November 10, 2015 by Geoff 2
elsiegee40 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Some shops are reporting that Black Friday causes a dip in sales as people hold out to see if they can bag a bargain and then fail to buy at all. Asda's decision may well be based in a steady trading securing them overall better sales than having madness on one day which leads to workload problems in the following week to ten days

Its not a thing for consumers its a way of emptying warehouses of old unwanted stock In general you are right and I agree with you But last year I was able to buy a few books, much cheaper than usual. This year I will try to find something else

witch Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Where is the best place to look? I am after lots of stuff including an Xbox one controller (unless anyone knows where to get one cheaper - second hand is fine!)
